**The Official 2008 Beijing Olympics Thread**
Here it is! Your thread to talk about anything and everything 2008 Summer Olympics! (Except politics. Lets please try and keep this strictly to the sporting events)
Looks like Soccer started yesterday officially. China is 13 hours ahead of Central time. So most of the live coverage will be middle of the night. Alot of NBC's primetime coverage will be tape delayed. Link to Yahoos Olympic site: http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/bei...J7PK_KsSMSv5V4 |

Phelps kept it in cruise control to just do enough to qualify. He has to race for real in just about an hour in the relays, so he couldnt go off and blow a bunch of energy.

Nah, that event is over, the 400IM was his first gold. He'll be anchoring the 4-man 4x100 freestyle

That's right, the 4x100 freestyle. I kept thinking the 400 I.M. for some reason.

I kinda hope Russia does win Bronze. They are rebuilding their program, and if they ever get good again itll be fun to hate the evil red empire again.

WTF, the tv analysts are saying the French are probably going to win the 4x100? Just how bad are the other 3 US swimmers, all they have to do is keep it close and Phelps could carry the rest.

French said "America? We came here to smash them, that's why we're here."
